At the temporary morgue In the " Lake
Shore shop the scene became four-fold In
tha intensity of human suffering, as fathers,
mothers, brothers and sisters passed up
and down the linos formed of 160 corpses.
To facilitate Identification the bodlos were
numbered aa ' they were received at the
morgue, The first Identification was made
by the mothers of Nels and Tommy Thomp
son, aged s and years, respectively. Tho
heads and arms had been burned from both
bodies, but the mother recognized the shoes
on their feet. And so the dlshcartentn i
work went oh, accentuated now and then
by a piercing shrink or plaintive moan as
a loved one waa recognised by .clothing or
token such as ring or necklace.
About tha burned achoolhouse thereare
but few residences.' In one of these Mrs.
Clark Sprung lived. Her little boy, Alvon,
aged 7, waa a pufiil In tha socond grade.
When tha flra started the mother ran over
to tha school and arrived when the first
floor waa a rr.ass of flames. At a window
on that floor aha saw the faoa of her boy.
Ha recognized her and. pleaded for help.
Rushlngacross tha street, Mrs. Sprung se
cured a stepladder spd placed it against
the window. Climbing up she reached for
her boy. Bha caught him by tha hair. It

The Clifton Hill school building Is the only
frame structure In use, with tha exception
of a few one-story small frame annexes.
All the other buildings are brick and as
near fire-proof as possible.
"Another thing which I deem of prime
Importance Is that in moat of the schools
there Is no entrance to the furnace room
from the school building proper. To enter
the furnace rooms a person must go out
side, therefore, should a tire start In the
baspment, there la no flue to carry the
flames and smoke Into the building. Schools
built on this plan Include the Cass, Paaiflc,
Saunders, Comenlus, Train, Vinton, Col
umbian, Lothrop, Franklin, Central, Wind
sor, Saratoga, New Dong and Webster.
"There are only two ways In which a fire
could possibly start rn any school build
Ing of Omaha," concludes the board presi
dent, " and that Is from spontaneous com
bustlon In the coal, which no one can guard
against, or from the wardrobe from matches
carried In their clothes by the boys to
school. These wardrobes, however, are all
back of brick walls and should a fire start
there, there would be but little danger ot
Its spreading to other portions of the build
lng."
Duncan Flnlayson, superintendent of the
school buildings, says that every building
over two stories In height Is amply pro
vided with flra escapes. The high school,
Hanscom Park and the Farnam street
schools ara the only throe-story buildings
In use. With the exception of the Bancroft,
Lake, Park, ' Leavenworth and Farnam
schools, the buildings are new and modern
Tha principals see to it that the fire drills
are held regularly, part of tha drill in tha
Clifton Hill school, the frame building, be
ing to facilitate tha getting out of the win
dows In a hurry.
There has been but two fires In any of
the schools of Omaha. The first fire was
tha burning of the old Dodge street school
building, where the police station now
stands, soma twelve years ago. . A little boy
by the name of Downs bravely stood In the
blinding smoke and faithfulily beat - the
drum until every child had marched out to
safety. By tha time tha little Downs boy
left tha burning building his hair and eye
brows wore singed and his faca blistered iV

school about" three years ago, but little
damage resulted.

ing for their state convention, which will
be held Thursday afternoon. The big pow

over 1.G00 delegates will be given seats, the
votes being divided In some districts so as
to give every democrat who attends ths
love feast a choice. The preliminaries will
be thredhed out in committee meetings in
the morning a.id the whole program will
be cut and dried fori the convention, which
will be called at 2 oVlock in the afternoon,

convention will be rushed so aa to finish In
tha afternoon and leave the coast clear
for tha democracy's beloved Bryan, who
will hold down the boards In the evening.
Bryan is scheduled to speak at 9 o'clock.
From the present status of affairs, tha
only possible scrap seems to be that over
the election of delegatoa-at-large to tha
rational convention.: There are five can
dldatea for the four places, none of whom
have enough votea to elect Ig Dunn of

he says. Raymond Robblns of Chicago,
who Beveral years ago made a big fight
in that city for educational matters, will
also speak In the afternoon. Bryan, the
"peerless," will be given free rein In the

Though the state convention will have
nothing to do with the nominating of can-
dldates for state offices, still scores of
those who Slave felt-the sting of the office
bee are- already on the ground and conduct
ing a sly campaign tor themselves on the
side. In this aide show the congressional
aspirants are foremost, at least. In num

as to positively anounce himself a candi
date for congress In Hitchcock's Second

that there are several favorite sons.

and Judge Wesiover of Rushvllle are tha
congressional candidates In tha Sixth dis
trict.
Shallenberger, Berge, Dahlman and Lo-
beck will also give their gubernatorial bees
a trial flight at the state convention and
the promise Is made that there will ba
polities galore. Democratic headquarters
ara at the Paxton hotel and that will be
the political center, but reservations have
been made at the Millard, the Merchants
and other hotels for the followers of
Bryan. The populists who have called
state convention for Thursday, have head
quarters at the Her Grand.
EVERYTHING WAITS OJT BRYAN
Peerless Leader Will Dominate and
Make the Platform.
William Jennings Bryan, who arrive
this morning from the south, will be the
supreme dlctstor of the convention, and
the main Idea of every delegate, whether
he be big or little, Is to please "the com
moner" In every respect. As sn example
of the supreme regard the Nebraska
democracy has for Its leader Is cited the
fact that It has, done nothing towards
preparing Its platform, leaders and all
waiting patiently for the arrival of the
one man who will direct all action.
Borne of the democrats now In the city
believe It would be best to prepare a sim
ple platform, short and to the point, de
claring merely the "cardinal principles of
democracy." Others, however, take the
ground that Nebraska, Bryan's home
state, ought to set the pace snd adopt
a "long, ringing platform which will be a
forerunner and give an Idea of what the
Denver platform will contain." Rut It
la up to Mr. Bryan to aay the word.
GRVEKTHER AT HEADtl'AHTRRI I
Secretary ef State Committee la
Charge Is Zealoas.
Democratic headquarters at the Paxton
hotel are In charge of C. M. Gruenther,
secretary of the atate committee and of
the Bryan Volunteers. Mr. Gruenther 1
editor of the Platte Centrr Signal and Is
a firm believer, that now is tho accepted
timet now the day of salvation for the
democratic party of Nebraska.
"There has not been so much enthus
iasm among the democrats of tha state
tor year as there Is this year," says Mr.
Oruenther. "even In years when there
have been big fights the enthusiasm has
not been so marked. We will have full
delegations from every county In the
atate thla time, something which has not
been the case for a long time."
But while talking glibly of democratic
sucevss la general, the committee secre
tary shut up like a clam when atked
about the gubernatorial situation, using
the old stereotyped phrase that all ths
candidates sre good men. To the question
regarding the advisability of nominating
either Dshtman or Ixibeck for governor
on the ground that they had never been
defeated for the office, while Berge was
beaten In 1904 and Shallenberger In 1906,
Mr. Gruenther cited the fact that It was
only after repeated failures that alfalfa
was made to grow In thla state, and that
now It is one of Nebraska's best crops.
"You csn spply the fate of alfalfa to
the governorship If you want to, but I de
cline to be Interviewed."
COSGROVR SURRENDERS TO JIM
Belligerent Jack Lowers Ills Flag tar
Sake. at Peace.
In the Interest of harmony and acting
upon the advice of leading democrats from
over the state, tho protest filed by Fred
H. Cosgrove, a leader of the Jacks, st ths
time of the selecting of the Douglas county
delegation In tha Paxton hotel on the even
ing of February 14, 1 will not ba presented
or pushed in tho state convention, not-
wlthstsndtng the method of selecting the
delegates, which he claims to have been
entirely Irregular and not In accord with
the call of the state committee.
"I am ready to abide by the decision
of the state leaders, who fully agree with
ma and my position, but who advise In the
absence of a contesting delegation, which
could ba seated that the ' matter be not
further prosecuted," says Mr. Cosgrove.
Pending tha decision of Mr. Cosgrove
regarding his protest, tha . Jacksonlans
havs placed no man In tha field for chair-
man of the Douglas county delegation to
the state convention. As tha Dahlmanltes
have been working overtime and have se
cured some ninety pledges for Mayor Jim
for chairman, the Jarksonlana confess that
they will probably not even have a "look-
in" on tha chairmanship.
